1980 Map of Ute Peak

About this map

The industrial infrastructure of the Henderson Mill and its associated water management systems dominate the high-altitude landscape of the Williams Fork Mountains in the late 1970s. This survey details an intricate network of resource extraction and transport, including a massive Tailings Pond, an aboveground aqueduct, and several siphons and pipelines that move water across the peaks. The environmental impact of these operations is juxtaposed with the protected lands of the Arapaho National Forest, where recreational sites like South Fork Campground and Sugarloaf Campground are situated near the confluence of the South Fork and Williams Fork rivers.
